    nNo new President does a state of the union address in their first term.

    Trump Feb 4th 2020 1st term

    Barrack Obama...He made six states of the union addresses.Guy wouldnt shut up! 20101st term,11,12,13,14,15,16

    Bill Clinton 1994 1st term.

    Bush Snr Jan 29th 2002 1st term "Axis of Evil"

    Think what we are getting wrong is we are expecting it within his 1st 100 days
    Not within his first term of office.
    .But it was announced with big fanhare that Biden was speaking on Feb 23rd a state of the union...£ days ago.

    No new President has done a state of the union address in their first year in the last 30 odd years.

    Trump Feb 4th 2020 1st term
    I meant year, not term. Obviously they do state of the union addresses in their term(s), what i meant to say was first year.

    Trump. Won in 2016, took office in Jan 2017, gave first SoTU in 2018.

    Obama. Won in 2008, took office in Jan.2009, gave first SoTU in 2010.

    Bush Jr. Won in 2000, took office in Jan. 2001, gave first SoTU in 2002.

    Clinton. Won in 1992, took office in Jan. 1993, gave first SoTU in 1994.

    Spot on.
    The trend continues back for decades.
    Complaining that Biden hasn’t done one in his first 5 weeks is baffling stuff.
    This little snippets of misinformation exist purely to mislead the clueless. Post on FB, or some other echo chamber, to people who’ll just swallow it with bother to look into it. As you pointed out it took 2 minutes to check. Unfortunately retweeting is instant.

    The first State of the Union addresses by presidential term since 1981:

    President Ronald Reagan (first term): February 18, 1981
    President Ronald Reagan (second term): February 06, 1985
    President George H.W. Bush: February 09, 1989
    President Bill Clinton (first term): February 17, 1993
    President Bill Clinton (second term): February 04, 1997
    President George W. Bush (first term): February 27, 2001
    President George W. Bush (second term): February 02, 2005
    President Barack Obama (first term): February 24, 2009
    President Barack Obama (second term): February 12, 2013
    President Donald Trump (first term): February 28, 2017

    Be as it may Ol Joe announced with great fanfare that he was doing a SOTU address four days ago.[23/2/21]Which would be quite a good morale booster what with Covid,Texas,etc,or at least give some direction as to where they intend to go in this administration.
    But its been crickets so far, apart from some lame excuse about "right-wing terrorist plots"...Which is as believable as flying unicorns. Considering DC is an armed encampment with a division strength worth of NG still in place.

    Incumbants usually do a SoTU in their first year of the second term.
    President George H.W. Bush: February 09, 1989
    The last President to give SoTU in his first year.
    President Bill Clinton (first term): February 17, 1993

    Seeing a pattern?

    There is no reason he cannot, i merely pointed out the absurdity of claiming he hasn't done one yet when for the last 30+ years no President has in their first year.
    Which would be quite a good morale booster what with Covid,Texas,etc,or at least give some direction as to where they intend to go in this administration.
    I foresee an utter trainwreck myself.

    Frankly a President can write on the back of a pack of smokes that "all is well and continue doing what you're doing" and his duties for the state of the union are fulfilled.

    I love how people with fresh haircuts are asked who done it for them, as if they were crack dealers and the other person was trying to get a fix. I've cut my own hair for years now. Its not great, but it short. First time i done it i made such a balls of it i had to shave the entre head, but i've gotten better at it over the years.

    Every one of those fcukers are part of the reason we are still in lockdown and why we'll remain in lockdown for another while yet.

    This lockdown is going to run its course, and i wouldn't be surprised if we had another if a new strain of this bloody virus appears. I don't think any amount of protest is going to change that.

    What caused me a lot of trouble at the start was trying to do the fade at the back near the neck.. one slight slip of the razor while doing the shortest section and it is noticeably crooked.. so to correct you've got to make a new shortest line a little bit higher... 5 minutes later and half the back of my head would be bald -_-

    Frankly a President can write on the back of a pack of smokes that "all is well and continue doing what you're doing" and his duties for the state of the union are fulfilled.

    It's kind of considered their version of the Queen's speech. Wouldn't do having Liz reading her's off the back of the Royal household shopping list either.:)
    Hence the fuss about this.

    What fuss?

    The fuss being created by a few middle aged guys on an Irish shooting forum?

    In 24 hours we go from US presidential state of the union speeches to DIY barbering,via a little scuffle in Grafton street,which will now be the start of more to come...
    Gotta love Leos two-faced statement. " I agree with political protest,but not just now as people have no reason to congregate under Covid restrictions!":rolleyes:

    Applied to anywhere else like Myanmar or Russia. "Oh people have a right to protest,but not now as there is martial law or a suppression of protests by order of the Kremlin" :rolleyes::rolleyes:
    Lucky to have my own personal barber in my better half,as she does it for a living! Would look like Cousin Id from the Adams family otherwise by now.

    Not personally, but I do know when a certain bridge in a large city in Ireland was dredged in advance of some public works being done they turned up all sorts.

    Few Webleys, grenades, several sundry pistols, ammunition, a broomhandle Mauser, etc.

    Fun time at the range altogether if you ask me :D
